Important Questions on Radiation
Which of the following is correct for a black body?

The sum of absorptance, transmittance and reflectance of a body is equal to ____.

For a perfectly black body the reflectance and transmittance is equal to one.


Total radiant emitance is the power radiated by the whole surface of a body.




Reflectivity and transmissivity of a black body is equal to one.



What do you understand by the term total radiant exitance?


What do you understand by total absorptivity of a material?


Scientists have made a light source whose spectral emissive power is constant over the visible range. Here is intensity and is the wavelength. In other words, graph is shown below. This beam of area is incident on the emitter plate of the photoelectric tube. The collector plate is sufficiently positive so that tube is in saturation mode. Assume that each capable photon liberates electron. If work function is what is the current (in ) in the tube? Round off to the nearest integer.




No medium is required for transfer of heat by the process of thermal _____.
